There's a sour stench on cover songs these days. Ever since the Punk Goes series threw atrocious screams on pop gold, the appeal of reinterpretations has dwindled significantly. Fortunately for us, Mandolyn Mae is flipping the script, offering sweet renditions of scene hits from Underoath, Further Seems Forever, and more. Today we're premiering her version of "Second & Sebring" from Of Mice & Men's debut album - check it out in the replies, along with the full tracklist for her Cover to Cover EP.

Breakdowns and bass drops seem to win record deals these days, but Easy Killer Records & Apparel must have missed the memo. Rather than succumbing to current (and awful) trends, the new label has snatched up several hard-working, highly-respected unsigned acts covered regularly 'round these parts. We've teamed with the guys to announce their launch roster, which includes Brian Marquis, The Company We Keep, Culprit, Night Verses, and Ramin Niroomand (In Fear & Faith pianist), as well as several others. Hit the replies for the full roster and announcement.
